I recently bought the Schott edition of Reinagle's Op. 1: "24 Short and Easy Pieces" and have been going through all the charming 18th century miniatures in order. I noticed this one was also present in my edition of Essential Piano Repertoire (prep grade) by Keith Snell, and I really liked the dynamics and tempo in his edition. It's still not as fluid as I'd like, but it's time for me to move on.
A curious note: the original edition by Reinagle contains zero indications -- not even legato/stacatto dynamics --, as it was common in his time for the teacher to adapt any material to the student. I think it's interesting that today we consider all written music as basically holy and immutable, but for most of our musical history, because we didn't really have recordings, music was actually fluid and improvised. Each performer added their little touch to the piece!
